‘It’s still magic, even if you know how it’s done’ SIR TERRY PRATCHETT

Designing Terry Pratchett’s Discworld takes readers behind the scenes of the amazing partnership between Sir Terry Pratchett and artist Paul Kidby. It shows how the Discworld was brought to visual life – from the earliest sketches to the final magnificent masterpieces – and how Terry and Paul absorbed influences from art and pop culture, fusing them into the Discworld landscape.

Whilst Terry was the undisputed creative fountainhead, for three decades Paul has been the artistic force taking the people, places and piece of man-eating luggage from Terry’s ever-fertile imagination right into our world. This is a unique insight into one of the great literary partnerships, packed full of hitherto unseen art and the real stories behind it.
